How their conduct has gone unchecked for so long is baffling.
Is it really baffling? The film industry protects them. It's a simple as that. You don't have to look any farther than the 2003 Academy Awards where Roman Polanski (who fled the US in the 1978 o avoid being prosecuted for sexually assaulting a minor) was wildly applauded for his return.
Where was Roman Polanski working between 1979 and 2004? Anywhere that didn't have an extradition treaty with the United States, including France.
Elon is pissing off a lot of people with DOGE why should the democrats stepping in and take all the blame?

Or more colloquially "Do not interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
Listen, the CT is a joke and I'm not defending it. I'm pushing back on provably false information regarding towing and what to expect from a tow hitch. People get killed believing this kind of bullshit. You absolutely SHOULD NOT expect a tow hitch to be able to stand up the vehicles tow capacity rating. Ever. Even transiently.
They went to great lengths to explain that and why a trailer load may transiently exceed it
Transiently, as in for mere moments, exceeding the 1,000lb hitch rating yes, absolutely. Expecting that the hitch will suddenly experience (and hold) the entirety of the tow capcity rating? Absolutely not. That's the exact opposite of the SAE spec. You'd also dramatically exceed the payload rating of every passenger vehicle in existence if it happened.
The other concern they mentioned was aluminum characteristics over time.
Better not look at the suspension of any passenger vehicle made in the last 30 years then.
No one else in the industry will use aluminum for the frame
The CT is unibody, it doesn't have a frame. This isn't me being pedantic either. The difference between the two is fairly important.
They even admit it fared better than they thought
The CT exceeded it's rating by 8 times. Yes the Dodge 2500 did better but so what? It too was well over it's hitch and payload ratings and if you tried to drive it with that kind of weight you'd quickly crash because you couldn't steer or stop.
And to say, no one expects a thing to do the job that thing is made to do is a dumb comeback.
It's NOT expected to. The SAE has literal standards for this and nowhere in them are you going to find that the tongue needs to support the entirety of the towed weight. In fact it's quite the opposite. None of you know this though because you've never bothered reading them.
Also, what is the point of fighting this?
Because people read this bullshit and then repeat it just like you're doing now. Tons of weight rolling down the road is dangerous. As always the regulations are literally written in blood.
You absolutely should NOT expect your tow hitch to support the entire weight of the trailer. It's NOT in the SAE specs and frankly there's no passenger vehicle in existence that will tolerate that without dramatically exceeding it's payload rating. You probably don't now what is either but when you exceed it you get broken axles, inability to steer, inability to stop, tires blowing up, suspension failure, and structure failure.
Ever seen a truck pulling a camper and the trucks headlights are aimed at the sky while the hitch is nearly dragging the ground? That's what happens when you have too much tongue weight. You can see that's it wrong and yet here's another army of people trying to argue that its just fine because they listened to another youtuber who has no idea WTF they're talking about.
It's wrong and it gets people killed. Stop it.
I...just...what...I...I...I....
Awww fuck this.
Benjamin go get the musket!
Then the video is plain wrong in regards to tongue vs tow weight. No truck or trailer manufacturer anywhere in the world adheres to that.
I commonly tow a triple axle trailer that weighs 12,000 pounds with my GMC Sierra 2500HD. That much weight would snap the receiver off and bend the frame if the hitch had to support it all.
The CT is for clowns but that video is stupid and should be disregarded.
Itβs difficult to imagine a group of people voluntarily amassing and then using the resources necessary for βAIβ absent the desire to cash in on their investment.
I mean Dmitry Pospelov was arguing for AI control in the Soviet Union clear back in the 70s.

Your solution would do nothing to stop the crawlers that are operating 10ish rps. There's ones out there operating at a mere 2rps but when multiple companies are doing it at the same time 24x7x365 it adds up.
Some incredibly talented people have been battling this since last year and your solution has been tried multiple times. It's not effective in all instances and can require a LOT of manual intervention and SysAdmin time.

By that logic...
Sure, why not but I've been fighting this notion that all libertarians are An-Caps for 20 years and the rise of the MC has turned an uphill battle into a nearly impossible one.
There's really no question that the MC are owned and operated by the string pullers of the Republican Party. They're doing it in order to to keep the people who do care about Small Government and Individual Liberty from leaving the Republican Party over the MAGA horseshit.
PoW uses a lot of electricity on the client side so environmentally it's a poor solution, especially at scale.
Multiple countries in Europe are already working overtime to rat-fuck DNS. I'd prefer if euro-leadership remained blissfully unaware of the root DNS servers.
